It is true that most of his wives recommemorated their marriages to him by proxy after his passing. But not all of the women sealed to him after his death had a previous marital relationship with him. For instance, Cordelia Morley stated in a memoir that she had never married Smith while he was living. Other early posthumous-only marriages to Smith include Augusta Adams Cobb Young ‎(1848)‎ and Amanda Barnes Smith ‎(1852)‎. Mary Ann Frost Stearns Pratt seems to have married Parley P. Pratt for eternity during Smith's lifetime, so her later sealing to Smith is also probably posthumous-only.
